Of most powders out there.. black powder will still produce the most fowling in a bore if you compared it to the other powders out there. I agree I shoot black powder all the time and will often times shoot the entire session without problems whether shooting traditional or inlines.
Actually, Pyrodex produces a littlemore fouling than my Goex...but it's still so little that I don't have to wipe between shots with it either.
The type oflube is the key...when there's only a trace of fouling to begin with and itremains soft because of the lube,it'swiped off the bore walls every timethe next patched ball is seated and is thenejectedwith the next shot...cycle repeats andthere's never more than a sinlge shot's worth offouling in the bore and just a trace at that.
BTW,I've been using Hoppes BP Plus as a patch lube during this winter's low humidity dry days and the stuff is incredible.
WhileNatural Lube 1000 let's me shoot without wiping between shots March-November, I couldn't do that during the dry months of Dec/Jan/February without melting more NL1000 into the patches in the microwave...but thisliquid Hoppes is somuch easier to use, just squirt a little on 100 patches in a ziploc, shake them around for 10 seconds and go to the range...it's a little pricey so I'll just use it during the winter months but it sure simplifies things.
